Well guys, here it is, I finally got the levels set. The top is a little higher than the lower half, but it's within the proper range. Added 6 interior lights, a Hydra LG, 2 extra fans, and 3 lbs of 65% beads. It took about 3 weeks to finish, from sanding, seasoning, and adjusting.

Patience was truly the way to go. Don't pay attention to the meters as the cabinet was opened for at least 30 minutes to install the interior lights.

What did you use for lighting?

A set of 6 puck lights from home depot...cost $39.99 on sale. However, these are NOT led, but 20w bulb lighting. They can get a little warmer than I like, so I turn them on and open the doors, find what I am looking for and turn them off immediately.

I recommend LED lighting which don't burn very hot.

BE advised, as you guys are so fond of saying, that your cigars will age at an accelerated rate being
exposed like that. You will find that it's out of control and might negatively effect your cigars in a much
shorter time frame than you imagine. Be careful with "air" and cigars............OH, and......freaking awesome!

Looks gorgeous. Does that window behind it get direct sunlight during the day at all? Just asking as that could possibly cause the temp to rise in the summer months when the sun is directly hitting that side of the house.

No not at all. That window is on the north side of my house and the sun rises east and travels southwest....no exposure to direct sun at all, that room stay pretty cool during the summer, has a ceiling fan and if necessary, I can always run the central air.

Thanks for the warning.:tu

I wish I had all the money I ever spent keeping my CIGARS at the temp they like. Always seemd a little
chilly to me, the person paying the bill. But gotta keep those cigars cool, sheesh. :r spoiled little sticks.

I have strip lighting in mine that came with it and when the lights are on it raises the temp withing minutes. I barely turn them on. LED is definitely the way to go.

I know that feeling. We will leave for vacation and my wife will bump the thermostat up to 80. I always make sure I am the last one out of the house and bump it back down to 73 on my way out. Nothing like running the A/C all the time for my cigars even when no one will be home!:r

I always forget that in some other parts of the country, AC is an option in the summer.

But that is just beautiful. You should be proud of it.
